As the autumn cools down, a message comes from the virtual world. The 4.0 version of the game Genshin Impact has been updated, bringing the silent guardian Zhongli back into people’s sight. Starting from September 5, players can draw him again. Zhongli, this name is like a stone tablet, standing tall in the game world, giving people a sense of steady and deep power. He is not only a character, but also a symbol of the players’ perseverance and expectations.
Card drawing, a “ritual” in modern games, rolls in the ocean of probability. The guaranteed mechanism set by the game company allows most players to meet Zhongli in eighty to ninety card draws, which is a gentle promise behind the numbers. However, fate does not always play by the rules. If other five-star permanent characters are drawn, Zhongli’s appearance will be delayed, and even a long wait of one hundred and fifty to one hundred and eighty card draws will be required. These numbers are like the stars in the autumn night, cold but flashing with hope.
And behind these expectations is real money investment. According to the current price, two 6480 Genesis Crystals, about three hundred dollars, can win Zhongli’s favor. If you are unlucky, you may even need three 6480. The recharge process is confirmed three times, as if reminding players to be cautious every time they pay. Three hundred dollars, this number is both heavy and realistic, and it brings the texture of life to this virtual pursuit.
This is not only a game, but also a line of poetry in the soul. People who draw cards, in those countless clicks, have superimposed hopes and losses. The light and shadow of the screen reflect the rhythm of their heartbeats, which is the pulse of waiting and the ripples of desire. Failures again and again are not meaningless, because they temper people’s patience and tenacity. The appearance of Zhongli is like the dawn before dawn, giving people strength and comfort.
At this moment when the virtual world and real life are intertwined, the process of drawing cards seems to have become a metaphor for life. Life also has a “bottom line”, the result after hard work, and the ups and downs of fate. The anxiety when you can’t draw Zhongli is very similar to the helplessness of facing setbacks in reality. We learned to be calm in waiting and to find hope in loss. Those cards seem to be telling stories about persistence and faith.
When night falls, players close their phones and their inner waves gradually calm down. The experience of drawing cards turns into a light spot of memory, gently illuminating the dark corners of life. The virtual Zhongli, although numbers and codes, is like a silent poem, narrating hope and perseverance. That persistence makes people find a trace of peace at the border between reality and dreams.
This card drawing may not only be for getting a character, but also for having a tranquility and strength of their own in the impetuous world. I hope that every player who wanders between probability and fate can keep the pure land in his heart and usher in his own light.
